My brothers and sisters!
What do you eat every day? What do you eat? 

God says today:
„Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty:
Buy corn without money, and eat,
And at no cost, wine and milk”.

And you? What do you eat every day? 

God says today:
„Listen, listen to me and you will have good things to eat,
listen, and  your soul will live”.

And you? What do you eat every day?

Psalmist says today:
„The hand of the Lord feeds us:
he answers all our needs”.

And you? What do you eat every day?

Psalmist says today:
„The eyes of all creatures look to you
And you give them their food in due time”.

And you? What do you eat every day? 

Jesus says today:
„No one lives on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”.

And you? What do you eat every day? 

Dear friends!
It is impossible to live without daily bread.
It is impossible to be a Christian without daily God’s word.
How many times did you eat the word of the Lord last week?
How many times will you eat the word of the Lord next week? 

My brothers and sisters.
Is it not the greatest tragedy to die with the full stomach and the empty heart?

 

PS. This is the first sermon I preached in English
